Support controlled access and escort procedures within secure technical areas in accordance with site requirements
Participate in rotating 24x7 on-call support and flexible scheduling as needed

What Makes You a Good Fit

Hands-on experience in data center operations, structured cabling, telecom, IT infrastructure, or a similar technical environment
Strong working knowledge of copper and fiber media, patching practices, cable testing, and physical-layer troubleshooting
Ability to execute precise work in live customer environments without creating avoidable risk
Strong attention to detail in labeling, documentation, change control, and customer-facing task execution
Ability to recognize environmental, equipment, or operational abnormalities and escalate clearly and appropriately
Comfortable working in a 24x7 environment where responsiveness, professionalism, and consistency matter

Leadership Profile

Brings strong execution discipline and follows procedures carefully in live production environments
Works with urgency while maintaining accuracy, documentation quality, and customer-impact awareness
Understands physical-layer dependencies and knows when to act, when to verify, and when to escalate
Maintains professionalism in customer-facing work and cross-functional coordination
Supports operational readiness through reliability, flexibility, and attention to detail

What Success Looks Like

Customer requests and remote hands tasks are completed accurately, professionally, and on time
Cross-connects, cabling, and physical-layer work are clean, well-documented, and reliable
Environmental, equipment, and security-related issues are identified quickly and escalated with useful context
Documentation remains current and supports provisioning, troubleshooting, capacity planning, and audits
Technical spaces remain organized, safe, and ready to support ongoing operations
The site has confidence in the technician’s execution, responsiveness, and operational judgment

Qualifications

High school diploma or equivalent required; technical training or related certifications preferred
2+ years of experience in data center operations, structured cabling, telecom, IT support, or a related field preferred
Experience working with copper and fiber cabling, patch panels, cross-connects, and cable testing tools
